Center first

Chapter 78 The Lonely Stone

There are some people who you can never see for themselves unless you get close, and Duncan is one of those people.

Only face to face can you know what kind of strength a person has. Now that Lin Yi is standing in front of Tim Duncan, he knows that this guy called "Stone Buddha" is really as unfathomable as a puddle of water. A person's anger is probably not as easy as communicating with an alien.

From the beginning of the warm-up, Lin Yi's eyes never left Duncan who was silently practicing shooting on the opposite court. He knew that the key to this game was on this man.If you want to defeat the Spurs, you must start by defeating Duncan inside. If you fail to cross this threshold, then it is not safe for you to take the lead temporarily, because that rock may start to burst into madness at any time.

His hands are still steady. Looking at Duncan's shooting rhythm during practice, Lin silently imitated his defensive steps in his heart at first, no matter how he estimated it, it was the same as when he felt when he was watching Duncan's game data. It will not give people a good chance to block shots, and the high parabola will make many people desperate, including Lin Yi.

What's more, this hateful poker face on the opposite side is also very shameless throwing the ball to the backboard. The weird angle of wiping the board basically won't give anyone a chance to intercept it, unless you directly stick your hand with his hand, it may seal the ball. Get out of this way.

Until he returned to the waiting room to listen to Spoelstra's pre-match arrangement, Lin Yi didn't think of a good way to limit the opponent's attack. The powerful opponent had already given Lin Yi a shot when he was not in the match. A defensive conundrum.

Lin Yi's stable performance in the first few games has made Spoelstra determined to put him in the starting lineup. Putting a good insider on his bench, I'm afraid Spoelstra If I am willing, the Heat supporters will not agree.

"Lin Yi, Wade, Marion, Banks, Haslem, the five of you are starting. We have made a lot of preparations for this game, and I will not repeat the points that need to be paid attention to. Duncan is their core. The task of Lin Yi and Haslem is to surround him in the paint, and now they are missing two main attacking players, as long as we cut this last point, we will win, I wish you all good luck." Spoelstra He had already talked a lot about this game. After all, this was the first tough battle they encountered. He didn't want to lose. The temptation of five consecutive victories is very great, especially for a rookie like him.

In the San Antonio locker room, Gregg Popovich looked at these unfamiliar players, and he couldn’t help scratching his head. It can be said that since Duncan entered the league, Popovich has been building a team with him as the core. of a troop.

Now the main combat power of this team seems to be that only Duncan still maintains his own state. The existence of too many injuries and old guys has made this team that dominates the league begin to enter the predicament of aging. The only one who can be said to be young Tony Parker can only sit on the sidelines.

Iron-clad battalions and flowing soldiers, this team bustlingly left many people, and many people came, he has always been able to control the lifeblood of this team, that is the iron fist of this hawk coach with military experience. Set off an important role.

When other teams have experienced glory or have been sinking into the trough, always spent in subversive reconstruction and overthrow, only San Antonio can still stand firmly in the highest peak of the league, all because of his relationship .

But now the staffing that even he feels a little helpless in front of him is really a bit difficult for Tim, who has played in the team for 11 years.The start of the first three games with one win and two losses may be a dilemma that the Spurs have not encountered in a long time.

"Roger Mason, Tim Duncan, Kurt Thomas, Bruce Bowen, George Hill." When Popovich read these names, he felt his Spurs for the first time Already old, so old that he must use 33-year-old Duncan and 37-year-old Bowen as the only players he can rely on.

Manu Ginobili, the "demon knife" who was seriously injured in the Olympics and will miss the entire season, and Tony Parker, who suffered a severe ankle sprain, these two sharpest knives could only sit on the sidelines in their clothes and watch themselves today. The old teammates are fighting on the field.

The three sharp knives of the Spurs' vertical and horizontal alliances now only have one lonely Duncan inside to support the Spurs' team operation. For the first time, Kuaishi also felt a little lonely.

The menacing Heat, the reborn Wade, and the oriental boy who turned out to be out of nowhere have all put a kind of pressure on Popovich's heart.The only thing his own Spurs can rely on now is the overall body and experience, which is the only hope that can restrain the opponent.

Duncan is the key to this game. Whether he can limit the role of the Eastern teenager in the paint is what Popovich cares most about.The Spurs' front line shooters can fully fire their firepower only when they are active in the paint, but no one knows whether Duncan's body can persist in the long-term hand-to-hand fight in the paint.

Popovich didn't explain too much, because his team has long been used to making all the preparations before the game, and they have already had their own way to deal with all possible situations, that is, if they don't play When the ball is handed over to Duncan, that is their toughest and most reliable spiritual leader.

Popovich looked at his watch, waved his hand, and signaled his appearance. The huge number 21 on Duncan's black uniform was a bit dazzling under the searchlights of the stadium. On the center court, this number represented an indestructible With his spirit, the Spurs are the most invincible king.

The Heat appeared from the passageway on the other side under the leadership of Wade. They watched the Spurs' appearance ceremony quietly. The No. 21 on the court, who is not even smiling when he comes out, is his opponent today.

"Just like the astonishing inside battle between the big dream and the admiral at the peak more than ten years ago, today there will be their successors to dominate here. Lin Yi wants to become the best inside player in the league. Duncan is bound to be a pass he has to go through." Old Chuck, who didn't go to the scene, was sitting in the living room of his home, watching the picture on TV and talking to his eldest son.

"His previous few games have been too smooth, and now it is not necessarily a bad thing to let him touch the best inside player in the league. He still has something to learn. Almost none of the insiders in the previous teams are good. The most pure, and now his experience has just begun." Old Chuck also hopes that his apprentice can learn the strengths of the opponent in the confrontation with the best guys in the league.

Lin Yi's fiery red No. 34 uniform (I forgot to explain, Lin Yi also chose Dameng's original number, but he was in the Heat.) and Duncan's deep black No. 21. Who can win? Only Waiting for the moment the whistle blows.
